I think these two articles address the question:
1. Meneghini R. Emerging journals. The benefits of and challenges for publishing scientific journals in and by emerging countries. Rep. 2012 Feb 1;13(2):106-8. doi: 10.1038/embor.2011.252.
2. Memon AR. the Term Predatory Open Access Publishing. J Korean Med Sci. 2019 Apr 8;34(13):e99. doi: 10.3346/jkms.2019.34.e99
